I was overloaded recently. Today I looked more into problem and found why 
it was a problem.

On this machine kpsewhich was stat-ing all files in filesystem - but I have 
mounted remote samba share with thousands (if not millions) of files, have 
~50 directories with unpacked firefox trunk build etc..

I switched into 'single', umounted all filesystems and tetex was installed 
very fast without any problems.
